Cost increases I believe is based on the current cost of the baseline part. Such as if a stoptech caliper goes up then the caliper limit would go up accordingly. This isn't the Fed and having costs increase a mandated 2% a year. :D Again, let's please take out the wing rule and leave that to America...

The shock value has gone up. Crazy that in a budget series I can spend $2k on shocks, $2k on brakes, and $700 for a wing before I even start thinking about anything else. The rear spoiler rule I still think is one of the worst rules in our series as I believe they have no place in our type of series.

Throwing this out there to the rest of the country but NASA Texas is racing at COTA on Memorial Day for 2017. Should be a decent bucket list track, not on the coast, and probably a decent chance at having over 30 CMC cars attend. Would love to have as many out of state cars come to Texas for some gr...

Yeah-better make sure you have a good AFR on the car both on the dyno and on the track. If you need one I can send you mine to use. Interesting that on all the dyno charts they showed there wasn't one that included an A/F ratio. Go to the dyno and test your car as it is then add the parts while the ...

Should you guys just be able to put a K&N on it and get 15-30 extra? My point is instead of using some magazine trying to sell something provide us with actual results. I'll use the 5.3 as an example. Instead of using other peoples swaps and dyno's Bob Denton swapped a 5.3 into his race car to g...

Bottom line is, are the platforms equal? Now why didn't you open that can of worms around the campfire at TWS while watching Bathurst 1000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you use the same information that CMC11 lobbied with to make changes a few years ago, then no they aren't equal. The question is how...

Thanks for the replies. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I completely agree with you Al. I'm an engineer by trade, so I tend to look at the budget the same way. Race weekend costs, consumables, planned maintenance, and contingency. As far as "how fast do you want to spend" goes... I'm...

Since jumping my car Duke's of Hazard style back in April, I find myself replacing a lot of parts. One of which is the motor mounts. a number of years back I switched over to solids for the motor. I have not seen any issues as a result. The "jump" bent both of them and I need to replace t...
